"Started off early with my 5 year old for a short trip to Panorama Point. Lots of snow still on Skyline Trail, but definitely receding. Great hike, and my son really enjoyed it, especially seeing all the Marmots and one little hungry chipmunk at PP." — CraigArnold2 • Jun 24, 2018

"After getting turned back from high winds on a Rainier summit attempt (123 mph wind gust in the night, shredded the guide's tent and blew him down the glacier!) at least I get to claim Panorama Point. Not to knock Panorama Point -- the views are incredible. Not sure how much prominence it has, but it's greater than zero!" — scott • Aug 26, 2012

A note on Prominence

A peak’s prominence, also known as topographic prominence or relative height, is a measure of how distinct a peak is from other peaks. It’s defined as the vertical distance between a peak and the lowest contour line surrounding that peak and no higher peak. Prominence is a popular metric for peaks for two reasons: 1) it’s objective and relatively easy to calculate, and 2) higher prominence peaks are more likely to be interesting with higher independence vs. peaks with lower prominence.

Note that prominence is not the same thing as a peak’s vertical drop, which is usually extremely difficult to calculate because a peak’s base elevation can be highly subjective. Instead, peakery shows vertical gain for specific routes up peaks.

Prominence ranks are calculated only for peaks with known prominence. Note that since many peaks in peakery still have unknown prominence, the ranks are subject to change as new prominence info is added.
